A three-dimensional molecular array on one of a conductor and semiconductor surface is disclosed. The array comprises at least one columnar stack comprising a plurality of substituted aromatic rings, wherein the aromatic rings of each columnar stack lie about parallel to the surface, wherein the columnar stack comprises a plurality of hydrogen bonds between substituents of different rings. Each stack may include aromatic amides in which the amido group is not coplanar with the aromatic core. A method for the synthesis of such aromatic amides is also disclosed. The aromatic amides may also be used to prepare pyro-ferro-, and piezo electric devices, as well as nonlinear optical devices and conductors, which comprise the columnar stacks described.
本发明公开了一种在导体和半导体表面之一上的三维分子阵列。该阵列包括至少一个柱状堆叠,其中包括多个取代芳香环,每个柱状堆叠的芳香环大致平行于表面,其中柱状堆叠包括不同环的取代基之间的多个氢键。每个堆叠可以包括芳香酰胺,其中酰胺基与芳香核不共面。本发明还公开了一种合成这种芳香酰胺的方法。这些芳香酰胺还可以用于制备热电、
铁电、压电器件,以及非线性光学器件和导体,其中包括所述的柱状堆叠。
